Deep red colour with a small pink head. Strong and very sweet taste of canned cherries is a bit artificial. Taste is sweet, sour and full of cherries. Too light body, almost watery. Very refreshing summer beer but nothing special. A little bit too artificial for me. More like cherry limonade than kriek.

Bottle - Red with a pinkish white head. Cherries and almonds in the aroma. Sweet taste with cherries dominating, followed by a slightly bitter and fruity finish. Refreshing, but not to be taken too seriously.

Bottle: Small fluffy light pink creamy head on top of a clear ruby pink colored beer. Smell cherry, dust, cherry sweets. Taste cherries, sweets, red fruit, light candy sweet, light light hint of something sour. Cherry fruity aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium body and a creamy texture.

25 cl bottle. Deep red color with medium pink head. It is sweet and a bit sour. Drinkable when it’s cold. Aroma has cherries and almonds in it. Pretty durable aftertaste. Reminds more lemonade than beer... Label is saying that it has 25% cherries in it, but it does not feel so...

Bottle at Dahlbergs. Helsingborg, March 2012.
Thanks to PeaceRich for sharing these. Aroma of artificial cherries, almost smells like Dr. Pepper. Very sweet. Light dusty body without any texture. Flavours of sweet cherries. Reminds me more of soda than beer.

Bright and clear pinkish purple, medium pink head, delicate lacing. Aroma of sweet and intense fruit. Taste is very sweet. Definitely a drink for teenagers and small children.

A little balance would have gone a long way with this beer. For how sweet this beer is, its still surprisingly drinkable, but a bit of tartness or sourness would’ve helped its drinability. Ruby red with a pink head. Tried in Maastricht in 2012.

25 cl bottle @ home. Slightly unclear ruby red color, small pink head. Smell pure sweetness mixed with cherries. Especially those warm cherries. Tastes the same: an incredible amount of cherries and sweetness. I guess it’s ok, but just not my thing. Decent carbonation, decent body for a 4%ABV beer.

Pours deep red with a low pink head. Aroma is cherries. Flavor is sour cherry with some malts. Quite decent.

Bottle.... It pours clear amber with a small pink head.... the aroma is cherry... candy like... the flavor is fresh, loads of cherries ...... very nice mouthfeel.. easy drinkable.... ok.. :)

Bottle. Pours dark reddish with a pink fluffy head. The aroma is loads of cherry gum. The flavour is loads of sweet cherry and and distinct sour touch. Ok balance. Proofs that a fruit beer doesnt need to be all that sour to be quaffable.
